ok, since I've never done this type thing before, here's a question; if starting a set of buddy cards, do I draw a subject on both cards leaving the everything else blank first? or do the backgrounds and let someone else add the subjects??

It can be done both ways. I think it is easier to draw something first. Drawing on a background may complicate things. But the second person may draw on separate paper carefully (fussy-cut) cut it out and glue it onto a background.
If doing Mixed Media you can definitely do the background first. There are a lot of samples in our original HD RR thread. But remember there were three artisit so some of the starters had very little on them.

Asilla, we cant really scan the back of a card because it has peoples addresses on them and those are private. Some people use address labels and with there only being 2 in the swap you could write it width wise if you wanted to write instead of use a label. There is plenty of room, really!

Asilla,
I made up a fake card out of an envelope so you could see how we do the back. There is plenty of room with just 2 people. The names and street address are fictitious so it is okay to post this. A lot of us also write in what we have done to the card under are names but it isn't mandatory. I wrote extra big and you see there is still room. Hope that helps.
